By becoming part of the openIMIS community, you join a broad group of partners who help support the expansion of openIMIS globally. In addition to gaining knowledge on openIMIS, the community makes it easy to share your implementation knowledge with a variety of stakeholders around the world.
What does it cost?
openIMIS is an open-source software and a global good that is free to download, customise and useThe openIMIS software, including the source code, is free. It can be freely downloaded without restrictions. Joining the openIMIS community is also free.
Implementing any software solution requires funding for its initial customisation, configuration, multi-level capacity development, and eventual ongoing support for backstopping and maintenanceWhen implementing openIMIS, you will incur costs for deploying the software (eg. server costs), and for required hardware at health facilities and the scheme operator. In addition, there will be costs for implementation and roll-out of the software(e.g. user training) and regular maintenance of the installation.
The cost of implementing openIMIS varies greatly depending on the scope of implementation, which determines the degree of customisation and the scale of implementation. An initial study focused on identifying these factors, particularly customisation needs and scale of implementation, is highly recommended before deployment.
